Our highly-rated Birding Field Trips are led by experienced local guides through Northern Arizona Audubon Society. You will visit some of the locals’ favorite birding spots and be treated to sightings of some of this area’s iconic birds. Have fun spending time with fellow hummingbird enthusiasts as you learn about other common and unusual birds in the Sedona area.

Cave Springs Campground, high up in Oak Creek Canyon along 89a, offers your best chance to see our Festival bird, the Rivoli’s hummingbird, and best chance to see Broad-tailed Hummingbird. There is also a good chance to see charming, colorful warblers such as Painted Redstart, Red-faced, Grace’s, and Yellow. You should also see higher elevation birds such as Acorn Woodpecker, Steller’s Jay, House Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch, Western Tanager, and Cordilleran Flycatcher, and riparian favorites such as the Great Blue Heron. This will be a mile or so walk on level roads. Note: This is a mostly shaded, higher elevation trip, so bring a light jacket.
